It should be top left in the "Previous Years" section. If you don't see it, it is most likely that you are viewing an older cached version of the page. Refresh/reload of the page will usually fix it. If that does not work, clearing the local cache (exact method varies from browser to browser) should do it.

Great job organizing all the pictures. I like how you can view high-res versions of the group pictures and how you created all the subgroups. Thanks Annie!!

I finally got it to work. I just wish there was a way to put names with
pictures as we all forget names so quickly.

Thanks

Coming very shortly (as in the next few weeks most likely) will be the ability to add comments to the recent years' photos, so if anyone wants to go in there and identify who is in any shot, it will be able to be done quite easily.

With all this talk on the news about face recognition technology is there a way to do some magic and automatically tag the pictures with whose in them?

I have yet to see any facial recognition software that is anywhere near ready for prime time. Even with large very clear frontal headshots the results are iffy.

Besides, I'm not sure that all of our people would like to be identified, particularly by facial comparison with other photos out there on the net.

It was just a thought.

Just for giggles, I ran some of the avatars and some clear headshots from the DLV 2014 pages through the Google image search.

With your "technicolor lips" avatar, it immediately pegged who the model is. With my ASCII art avatar, it brought up various cartoons and an engineering drawing of some kind of a valve. With another user's avatar it brought up several matches on the net and some amusing Twitter feeds.

With various headshots it failed to identify any of the individuals. None of the "similar images" were the same person in any of the cases I tried.
